You know what, maybe you could just put two straight and fairly defined black lines down the sides of the one you fixed, about half an inch from the edge.

@Daeus hm… better-ish? I like the first re-do, but it isn’t perfect. What program are you using to put these together? Because putting in white boxes is like… as basic as the abcs…

I guess I could do something like this:Â

Daeus replied to the topic Pinterest in the forum Publishing & Platform 8 years, 9 months ago
@kate-flournoy Okay, here’s what that could look like with a border. The problem with borders is that I can’t find any that are adjustable, so I have to find one that’s just the right size and look. Looking at this, I think it would look better with a border that encompassed the whole lower half. I could get a different banner/plate for the top…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy True. I was going to do something like that, but I couldn’t figure out how, so…I didn’t do anything like that. 😛
But I can do some sort of border. I’ll play with it.

@Daeus whooo, my eyes are crossing. 😛
None of these are particularly amazing in my very humble opinion, though I do think the second has potential. The biggest problem is the composition— there are no lines to define where graphic meets text, or to organize the whole thing for us so our eyes have to do as little bouncing around as…[Read more]

@introvert_girl @lifeofkatie @seekjustice @kate-flournoy
Okay, unless anybody think’s it’s a terrible idea, I’m planning to use this for a writing school I’m launching this coming year.
My general impression of Pinterest leads me to think that quotes are good to post there, so I thought I’d do some short writing tip graphics. To make it easy on…[Read more]

Hi, all! My current WIP is a sci-fi trilogy. I’ve never written sci-fi before. What are some of the common cliches in this genre that I would want to avoid?

@his-instrument Another option is to add in an extra prologue or chapter in the beginning that has a very different tone just to give the reader something positive to latch onto.

@dekreel One thing I noticed is that most of your sentences are very similar in length. It would help to vary that up a bit. Have some run-on sentences and some normal and some very short.

*waves hand around* Yes, yes…I know I said I’d see you all next year, but this is a question that couldn’t wait any longer.
Currently, I’m trying to write a novel. Too many novels actually, which is where this problem came up. You see, I finished Sector One, so I’m trying to write the sequel to it. But I’m 71,000 words in with 30,000 more to…[Read more]

I think i got every one…
Daddy called me a little while ago and said the glitch with the contract  was fixed and that we are likely going to get the house now! Praise God thanks for your prayers! ❤

Hannah replied to the topic PRAYER REQUESTS #2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 9 months ago
@dekreel don’t be nervous!
Will pray!
@daughteroftheking yes will pray it’s not that bad! Itcs actually fun once you start to get the hang of it.
@shannon yeah I started in our neighborhood. Now I’ve been on the interstate and I’ve actually driven two hours during part of a car trip.
Thank you all! 😊

@his-instrument I love the plot line.
I don’t know if I’ll be able to read the first chapters, but just some thoughts. I think you can set a tone in these first chapters that lets your reader know you’re not out to scare them. If you don’t get too graphic with the murder and torture scene and you give the reader one or two, morally good, hopeful…[Read more]

I have 2 requests.
The contract on the house we are trying to by looks like it’s gonna fall through.
And two i had another friend that was in a car accident (her and her husband were okay) and today I was almost hit when I was driving home from shoping. Now I have some anxiety about cars. My mom…[Read more]
